Hey guys i am having trouble deciding what oil pump

I am going to use the car as a Street / Drift / curcuit

has a 1.5mm oil restrictor in the block i am wanting to go to a 1.1 i think

Read all i can on the Nitto and Tomei pumps but i cant decide what one to pick??

My impression is both strong pumps. The Tomei's pressure can be adjusted externally when mounted. The Nitto's pressure can only be adjusted by springs.

The Tomei is also adjusted by springs/shims, externally.

I picked Tomei last week for pressure adjustment convenience, and they have also been around alot longer than the Nittos.

Correct me if I am wrong yet the Tomei item is not suited to bolt on application.

From my limited knowledge the Tomei is a higher flowing pump which would probably require more than a simple restrictor to head oil supply.

The JUN item is said to be really good and is also the choice of a close friend on here after some careful (and dubious) research. You may want to consider this item also yet try to stay as close to an OEM replacement item as possible unless you are going for specific goals and have a big build in the process.

Drift + added oil flow could be an issue, especially when all you are doing is banging in a piece that changes the ID of the oil pressure capillaries.

Just purchased a tomei pump. The new HKS pump is meant to have an even higher flow rate then the tomei pump, and also carries the pressure valve on the outside of the pump. Think it may cost the same as the tomei one too!

Good point mark, about adjusting oil pressure as the higher the pressure the better it is for the bearings and less chance of damaging your engine.

I know when I bought my nitto from jim @ crd he was telling the reason he has the option to lower the oil pressure is purely to make the other non believers happy...u need to cater for all customers.

Do yourself a favour, if u live in syd drop into crd and have a look at their nitto pump which is on display and has chewed pieces of an engine block via a massive failure AND the pump gear is still in 1 piece. Amazing stuff and hard to comprehend until u see with your own eyes.

Nitto is my choice :)

Something else I will also add, to advice from ppl in the know such as paul deimar @ red r racing!

For example, the nitto bottom end kit far exceeds the tomei bottom kit in terms of qaulity and tolerance straight off the shelf

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.

      What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.

      Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
